Enquirer: Elizabeth and John Edwards Haven't Slept in Same Bed for 2 Years

National Enquirer says Elizabeth kicked John out of bedroom when he told her of affair, but couple stays semi-married for kids.

Is Elizabeth and John Edwards’s marriage really over?

That’s what the National Enquirer says.

The tabloid that broke the story about John Edwards’ affair and possible child with former campaign worker Rielle Hunter now reports that Elizabeth kicked her husband out of the bedroom more than two years ago, after he confessed to his infidelity. A source told the Enquirer:

John has no choice than to follow Elizabeth’s lead. He has destroyed her by repeatedly lying to her, and his betrayal was so severe that there is no marriage to go back to … They are staying together for the sake of their children and their reputations. But if things were different, and if Elizabeth wasn’t sick, she would divorce him in a heartbeat.

During her much-anticipated interview with Oprah Winfrey last week, Elizabeth Edwards said she had not kicked John out, and even invited Oprah to look in the closets to see his clothes still hanging there. John Edwards told Oprah the couple was "getting to" a good place in their marriage again.

Yup, I’m with you. Frankly, the idea of anyone sleeping with Edwards is…well, disgusting. :P

Now this is too much info. What goes on in their bedroom, should stay in their bedroom.

Or anyplace in their house, Kristy. They can sleep in the bathtub for all I care.

I’m supposed to care about this because …..?

What goes on behind a bedroom door is none of our business, whether we are sleeping with a man, woman, our spouse, none of them … or all of them - MYOB !

What is wrong with these people? Have they no decorum or shame? The Edwards need to get out of the public eye. And stay out of the public eye. And note to anyone who may find themselves with a HARPO camera crew in their house…stay outta the closets.

Consider the Source (the Enquirer). I guess the Time magazine article I submitted for a political story idea to them didn’t cut the mustard for the WOW editors, so they went to the Enquirer for a story idea!
